Currently there are more iThings in the market compared to android 
devices. But the growth of Android is much (!) stronger than the 
increase of iThings => it's just a matter of (few) time until there are 
more Android devices in the market than iThings! Other platforms e.g. 
WinMobile are loosing very strong currently...

iPhones still increase, but Android could be the mobile system of the 
future! And compared to "iOS" it is somehow free which might be 
interesting for a free project like OSM.
Even companies like SonyEricsson started with Android phones although 
they have their own operating system (which works well). And Motorola 
would maybe have gone in Europe w/o Android (=> Milestone/Droid). HTC 
has IMHO a much larger market share compared to only selling WinMobile 
phones.
